Eighteen yellow roses came today |
|
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet |
|
When the boy came to the door |
|
I didn't know what to say |
|
But, eighteen yellow roses came today. |
|
I opened up the card to see what it said |
|
I couldn't believe my eyes |
|
When I had read |
|
Though you belong to another I love you anyway |
|
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today. |
|
I never doubted your love for a minute |
|
I always thought that you would be true |
|
But now this box and the flowers in it |
|
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do. |
|
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing |
|
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring |
|
'cause eighteen yellow roses |
|
Will wilt and die one day ... |
|
But... a father's love will never fade away |
|
Will never fade away... |
